EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES AND BENEFITS

Employment practices and benefits must be tailored to suit the preferences and needs of the employer. The board of directors of the NPC should review and approve each policy and procedure relevant to employment practices and the executive director should ensure that an NPC is consistently following the policies and procedures specified by the board. NPC employees work for the NPC, not an individual investigator, and consistent application of policies and procedures is necessary to avoid possible litigation.

Sample policies have been provided for a few of the items listed below. More are contained in the sample employee handbook provided by labor attorney Caryn Pass, Esq., of Krupin O’Brien, LLP, for the use of NAVREF members. Prior to issuing the employee handbook, have a local attorney review the handbook to ensure compliance with local and state laws.
